Wondering why it is no vaccination against Tuberculosis??
it is mandatory in Europe and other countries, but no in USA!!! So many people just do not see medical doctors for years to have screening and medical check ups, so many are homeless in mega police cities and do not have money and med. ins. People might not know they have TB!! It is dangerous!! and scary!!

My partner has type 1 diabetes (viral) and he's life-long insulin addicted, ever since he was 7 years old - a vaccine might have induced that, who can guarantee us that it wasn't a faulty vaccine and that is not to happen again to our child?

I'm sorry, but I simply cannot agree with shoving so many organisms & heavy metals into my few months old - he is simply NOT running any risk to get hepatitis B for example: he's not having sexual intercourse nor blood transfusions!

Maybe after he's 2 months old, has a stable immune system and joins collectivity we could consider giving him the shots for the very serious diseases.

BabyCenter, you know this issue is highly controversial, and until you can cut your wrists stating that it's totally ok for all children, I wouldn't advocate it so profoundly! Just my opinion...

I really cannot comprehend how people think their children would "naturally" be able to fight off measles, mumps, rubella, polio, Hep A, Hep B, etc and be just fine. Just because you know someone that was fine without getting vaccines, doesn't mean your child will be. Why take the risk?Want to know WHY this is so heavily funded? Because the USA does not want to have an epidemic on their hands. The only reason why non vaccinated often don't get sick is because of everyone else who is vaccinating their children. I'd rather my son get a fever and cry from a shot than get polio. Also, if you think the ingredients are so terrible, please educate yourselves on what you put in your own body. Even if you think you're eating organic, it's being farmed next to GMO. Do you think the chemicals don't travel through the soil when it rains? Think again. And tap water is filled when chemicals.

I wonder how many pro vaccine comments on here are actually doctors or pharma disguised as mothers? The fact is, the US govt is the biggest purchaser of vaccines in the country and the govt protects pharma with bogus laws. 30% of the CDC budget is for purchasing vaccines. Private insurance companies, which do the best liability studies, have totally abandoned coverage for damage to life and property due to:

*Acts of God

*Nuclear war and nuclear power plant accidents

*Vaccination

Raise your child in a clean, healthy and nutritious environment and your child will develop a dynamic immune system that fights disease on their own.

Also to be more to the point the main ingredients that are causing problems are mercury and aluminum. If your child starts to act differently after getting vaccinations have a metal test done to see where their levels are.

I am no Doctor but as a parent you must know that there is nothing wrong with asking questions and if the Doctors don't know the answers you must search for yourself. Some people may call me paranoid but I think I am just a concerned parent who cares about but child's health. Every parent needs to watch this video from youtube and start asking questions.

I wanted to know my son just had his 12 month shots and he wound up with the baby measles, then a few days ago I read that the courts quietly confirmed that the MMR vaccine is linked to Autism. Can someone help me understand this or should I just question his pediatrician.

Take in consideration the rate of child mortality over the course of the past century and the advent of vaccinations. There are obvious risk factors to any treatment of any kind meant to provide a protection or immunity, there are no such things as biological free lunches... Everything has its pros and cons. Don't use this site as your platform to force your opinions onto others. Do your own research and make an informed decisions. If you're truly screaming red flag about the billion dollar pharma industry, take this note into consideration.... One very mundane vaccination given out very year that potentially saves a third of the worlds population. Look up Spamish Influenza. Vaccinations against communicable diseases isn't about preventing an individual from contracting the disease but rsther preventing the exponential spread over a large population. The world has become flooded with information and you often need to filter out some of the content.

All reputable scientific sources endorse vaccinations. Read what happened to this little boy whose parents chose not to give him his tetanus vaccine. A little cut could kill your unvaccinated child. In my opinion, you are crazy to take that risk.

Its really sad that as a new mom you come to this site for help and all you see are nasty comments judging the other mom for doing somethong different and a whole bunch of bogus biased links that dont prove anything or help at all and I mean this for both sides
